Scientists Sank a Pig Carcass in the Deep Sea — With Unexpected Results
Original: Scientists Sank a Pig Into The Deep-Sea, and It Went Very Wrong
Researchers sank a pig carcass to the deep seafloor to study how scavengers decompose large remains in the ocean, and the experiment took an unexpected turn. Deep-sea feeding studies like this use pig remains because they resemble human bodies, drawing scavengers such as sharks and hagfish and revealing how quickly the ocean recycles large animals.
Why now: The dramatic outcome of the deep-sea scavenger experiment is drawing wide curiosity online.
